I am somewhat surprised by the comments above. I am a foreign woman, but I came to Japan strictly to study (two years left till Graduation now).

Thieving is thieving. Give back the treasure of Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes and all remains! I'd rather see it in a museum, properly investigated and displayed - it's part of Ibero-American history. The US would do well in giving back the booty from excavations in Peru and other countries…

Hey my mother is a Civil Engineer; a successful one and she raised four daughters, all happy professionals today. My father and my mother have a happy marriage (I hope to have one like theirs!) and she is not an Alien. She is wonderful of course, but that runs in…

I am also a PhD student on my second year. To put it bluntly, Japan selected me from the top students of my country, brought me here, taught me Japanese and has sent me to fine Japanese universities will all costs covered (regardless the fact that the scholarship grants shrink…
